Op-Ed from Lee Dye, ABC News, August 20, 2005:
"The cost of publication should be included in the funding for the research, he [Nicholas Cozzarelli, editor in chief for seven years of the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences]says. So if the National Science Foundation wants to pay for somebody to study the sex life of anchovies, the grant should also include the cost of publishing the results." (Emphasis added.

Millions of stinky dead anchovies wash up near Seaside
KATU News, July 26, 2005
SEASIDE, Ore. -- Millions of dead anchovies have washed up on the banks of the Neawanna River on the northern Oregon Coast, biologists said, giving off a putrid stink of salt water, seaweed and sewage.
Biologists say such mass deaths are perfectly normal, and probably caused in this case by an increased food supply, allowing a greater number of anchovies to be born.
"That's the way nature works," said North Coast Land Conservancy Director Neal Maine. "You get too many, then they take all the oxygen out of the water."
In the 1960s, Maine said, so many anchovies died in the river that the bodies were knee-deep. . . . ( For full story, click here. We find the adjective "stinky" unnecessary, as most life forms exude odors upon expiration. -- The Schoolmarm)

Ocean Shores, Washington, U.S., January 10, 1972:
Anchovies, a few dozen of them, fell into the yard of Tom and Evelyn James in Division 3. Speculation was that a water spout sucked the anchovies out of the surf and into the air at least 100 feet in order for them to travel the distance of at least 2,000 feet inland.
